Anti-terrorism and accountability
An anti-terrorism case is a criminal case for terrorism or a scheduled offence, tried by an Anti-Terrorism Court under special, faster procedures.
What does Anti-terrorism case mean in plain words?
A scheduled offence is triable only by the Anti-Terrorism Court with jurisdiction over the area. The police investigation is to be completed within thirty working days. Bail is restricted: only an Anti-Terrorism Court, a High Court or the Supreme Court can grant it, and some accused cannot be released. Appeals go to the High Court, normally within fifteen days. Not every violent crime counts; the Act defines terrorism.

The case was sent to the Anti-Terrorism Court because the offence is in the Schedule.
